MountainWest Overthrust Pipeline – Kevin Wood 385-390-3039
White River Hub – Chris Madsen 801-584-6424
For questions regarding the calculation of the volume cashed out, please contact:
James Bonnett – 385-390-3031
Annette Bennion – 385-390-3095
The cashout price is based on the first-of-the-month index for Northwest Pipeline for the first of the month following final determination of the cashout volume (example: a cashout in March would be subject to April's price)
*OBA cashouts may be different per the individual agreement.
A credit on the Statement of Account in the Amount Due field indicates an overpayment of a prior month's invoice.
"Current Month CICO SHARING" credits are excess cashout revenues credited in proportion to the revenue contributed for the month in which the imbalance occurred. CICO Sharing is credited in March and September.
"Current Month REVENUE SHARING" credits are for Unauthorized Overrun and Interruptible revenues received in excess of the amount allowed. Credits are calculated pro-rata based on the revenue contributed. Interruptible Revenue sharing is credited in February and Unauthorized Overrun sharing is credited in March.
This data can be found at: https://www.mwpipe.com/ under Informational Postings – Unsubscribed Capacity. You will need to select the pipeline website for either MountainWest Pipeline, or MountainWest Overthrust Pipeline. The information for all Unsubscribed Capacity is updated on the fourth to last business day of each month.
Unsubscribed Capacity Map Path Listing is a report that displays information for available capacity for specific receipt and delivery points. Make sure to select the receipt and delivery points from the drop-down box, then click submit report. This report will itemize the available capacity for the calendar period.
Another option is the Map of Available Capacity. This diagrammatic map outlines the available capacity on the pipeline, as well as the direction of flow.
In MyQuourm, click on the "Add favorites" (Heart with + Icon). This will save the desired report to the right side of your screen for further use and can also be renamed for convenience.

In MyQuorum go to Reports – Reports. You can search for the name or number of your report in the search bar on the left-hand side of the page. If you are unsure of the report name, you can select a category in the bottom right-hand corner. By clicking on the "Launch Report" icon, changeable parameters will appear. Once all parameters are updated, click on "Execute" in the bottom right-hand corner, and the report will generate.
*NOTE: For more details use the help at the bottom of the MyQuorum screen.
After the allocation process is completed for each cycle, scheduling will update the website to reflect which locations/segments have been allocated. This can be found at: https://www.mwpipe.com/ under Customer Activities – Customer Support. Scroll down, and on the right-hand side of the screen you will find "Constraint Points", from there click on the pipeline in question to see up to date allocations.
Please see below to see a detailed list of Reason Reduction codes and their reasons for use.
Please call the scheduling hotline to be set up for these reports. Multiple people from the same company can be set up to receive the report, however you will need your own credentials to be set up individually.
The best way to verify where a cut originated is in Nom Maintenance. In the path, select the nom in question. Either the Upstream or Downstream side will have CPR (Confirming Party Reduction) as the reason reduction code, along with EDI browser or the User ID of the person who made the cut. This is the location where the cut originated from, and the other side will have a PBL (Path Balancing) as the reason reduction code to balance out the nomination.
If both sides have PBL as their reason reduction codes, it may be that the cut originated from a different pipeline which then path balanced to both sides of your nomination.
(NAESB) Reduction Reason | Reduction Reason Description |
---|---|
002 | INVALID LOCATION Location identifier is not valid. |
005 | INVALID UPSTREAM IDENTIFIER CODE Upstream identifier code is not valid. |
006 | INVALID DOWNSTREAM IDENTIFIER CODE Downstream identifier code is not valid. |
007 | INVALID UPSTREAM CONTRACT IDENTIFIER Upstream contract number is not valid. |

AOK | NO REDUCTION MADE No additional reason is required. |
BMP | QUANTITY REDUCED DUE TO BUMPING |
CAP | CAPACITY CONSTRAINT Confirming party's capacity constraint. |
CPR | CONFIRMING PARTY REDUCTION Confirming party's quantity is reduced. |
DLI | LOCATION NO LONGER VALID – DELIVERY |
ECM | EXCEEDED CONTRACT MDQ – Exceeded Maximum Daily Quantity on contract. |
EPS | ELAPSED PRORATED SCHEDULED QTY IN EXCESS OF NOM – Nom reduction is trying to go below elapsed qty (the volume that has already flowed for the day). |
FMJ | FORCE MAJEURE – Use when a nomination has been cut due to an explosion, fire or lightning strike, etc. |
GOS | GAS QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS NOT MET – The gas quality is not consistent with posted tariff limits |
PBL | PATH BALANCING – Path balanced due to an upstream or downstream cut. |
PCC | PIPELINE CAPACITY CONSTRAINT – Nominated gas exceeds capacity on any segment of pipe. Volume may be reduced due to maintenance. |
PLM | PIPELINE MAINTENCE – Nomination was reduced due to pipeline maintenance. |
PRD | CONFIRMNING PARTY REDUCTION AT DELIVERY LOCATION |
PRR | CONFIRMING PARTY REDUCTION AT RECEIPT LOCATION |
REC | REC RECONCILIATION – Use when an existing nom is changed due to reconciliations. |
RLI | LOCATION NO LONGER VALID – RECEIPT |
UPR | UNDERPERFORMANCE OF CONF PARTY AT REC LOC – Nomination is reduced because Confirming party at Receipt Location is physically unable to flow the Scheduled quantity. |

For detailed information about your imbalance, there is a report available in MyQuorum under Reports. You can then use the "Search" option on the right-hand side of the screen to search "SERVICE REQUESTER STATEMENT OF GAS ALLOCATION (EXTERNAL)." Another option in MyQuorum is to go to Flowing Gas – Imbalance – Customer Accounts – Authorization to Post Imbalance.
If the Pipe owes the Shipper, use MAP 9996 as a receipt. The Transaction type code will be 03 for the current month payback, or code 63 for the prior month payback. This code needs to be on the path level to get credit for payback. Gas has to be burned as a deliver or delieverd to an OBA when using MAP 9996
If the Shipper owes the Pipe, use MAP 9998 as a delivery. The Transaction type code will be 04 for the current month payback, or code 64 for prior month payback. This code needs to be on the path level to get credit for payback.
When entering an imbalance nom, the Up and Dn K fields are required fields, but the system is not looking for specific contract information in those fields. You can enter somethings like "IMB" or the MAP number (i.e. 9996 or 9998), just as long as they are filled out.
Unfortuantely, the process to keep cycles open for late nominations, is quite a time-consuming process. We are unable to keep pipes/cycles open, and encourage that all nominations changes/submissions be made prior to the start of the cycle. For detailed information about the cycle timelines, please see "Gas Timeline by TSP" tab located on the main FAQ page.
While we do have the Operationally Available Capacity (OAC) for Clay Basin on our EBB, sometimes it can be difficult to interpret. The easiest way to check the OAC for Clay Basin is to run the non-NAESB report called "Web Based Clay Basin Storage Nominations" in MyQuorum.
Unfortunately, this navigation is not supported in the new web-based system. However, using the "Tab" button replaces this function and provides a much faster way to navigate through the different rows.
*NOTE* The Up and Down buttons are still supported in MyQuorum.
The best way to display more rows in the confirmation or nomination screens is to change the zoom percentage on your browser.
In Google Chrome use the "Hamburger" menu in the top right hand of the screen. We recommend zooming 75%-80% to be able to display the path, upstream and downstream.
Pipeviewer is still available! Go to https://www.mwpipe.com. On the left-hand side of the screen there is a "PipeViewer Login" link.
MyQuorum can be used on any web browser, however it works the best on Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome.
On https://www.mwpipe.com/ under Customer Activities – Customer Support, on the right-hand side of the page under "User Information" you will find an option for "Access Agreement" or "User Request Change Form".
The Access agreement is what a company will use for initial set up per pipeline.
The User Request Change Form is used to add, change, or delete a user. Once you have picked which agreement you will use, click on the pipeline in which access is needed and fill out the request form (Each pipeline requires a signed agreement). Once completed, it can be faxed to the number on the form or email it to your scheduler and they will forward it to the contracting department.
Yes. If we are aware of any connection problems/system issues we will send out an EBB notice to our customers. However, we do not always know when the system might be down. If you are experiencing any kind of system issues, please call the hotline at 385-426-3472, and we will work with the geniuses on our IT team to fix the issue.

If a column has been sorted it will have a small triangle (ascending sort) or an inverted triangle (descending sort) next to it, or beneath the column title. To remove the sorting feature, click on the column title until the triangle or inverted triangle is no longer visible. *Please note that it is possible to have more than one column sorted at a time. Click on the column title for any remaining sorted columns until the triangles are no longer visible.
In nom submission, change any nominations that did not make it to not maintenance by at least 1 DTH. Balance all paths/ups/downs, then submit the nomination. If this does not work, call the scheduling hotline.
Six Months.
Yes. All nominations have a nom classification code assigned to the nom path.
For detailed information about your imbalance, there is a report available in MyQuorum under Reports. You can then use the "Search" option on the right-hand side of the screen to search "SERVICE REQUESTER STATEMENT OF GAS ALLOCATION (EXTERNAL)." Another option in MyQuorum is to go to Flowing Gas – Imbalance – Customer Accounts – Authorization to Post Imbalance.
Go to the nom submission screen in MyQuorum and enter in a nom for the desired path. Rather than submitting the nom, hit the "Classification" tab. This will show you the nom classification/priority of service for that specific contract.
Please see the Page 2 & 3 in the Cuts and Allocations tab for a MWP Cut Codes cheat sheet.
The best way to verify where a cut originated is in Nom Maintenance. In the path, select the nom in question. Either the Upstream or Downstream side will have CPR (Confirming Party Reduction) as the reason reduction code, along with EDI browser or the User ID of the person who made the cut. This is the location where the cut originated from, and the other side will have a PBL (Path Balancing) as the reason reduction code to balance out the nomination.
If both sides have PBL as their reason reduction codes, it may be that the cut originated from a different pipeline which then path balanced to both sides of your nomination.

Be sure you are using a MAP path that is approved for meter bounce (ask a scheduling rep if unsure). Transaction Type Code 31 must be used on the Receipt Location Detail if receiving the gas, or on the Delivery Location Detail if delivering the gas. An upstream/downstream contract handshake will need to match along with the transaction type code previously mentioned.
In the Nom Submission screen, you can enter hypothetical paths outside the primary point (Be sure NOT to submit or save after entering a "what if" nom), just click on the "Classification" button to view your nom/flexed path. After viewing, make sure to retrieve to return to the original screen without saving or submitting those noms.
To retrieve an activity code, you will need to be in the Nomination Submission screen. Hit "Save" which is located in the drop down options list shown as a vertical ellipsis (…) to the left of "Retrieve" option. Once saved, you should be able to see your activity code underneath the box where the cycle is shown.
Shippers shall be entitled to receive service subject to the availability of pipeline capacity on MWP’s system in the order of priority below. NNT and FP service will have the same priority as the shipper's corresponding T-1 service agreement.
First | All non-segmented firm transportation service from a primary receipt point to a primary delivery point. |
Second | All non-segmented firm transportation service nominated: a. from an alternate receipt point within a CTP to a primary delivery point. b. from a primary receipt point to an alternate delivery point within a DPG. c. from an alternate receipt point within a CTP to an alternate delivery point within a DPG. If available capacity at an alternate receipt or alternate delivery point in DPG is insufficient to accommodate nominations, the available capacity will be awarded pro rata based on each Shipper's nomination up to that Shipper's RDC within the CTP or DPG. |
Third | All segmented firm transportation service segmented pursuant to § 28, nominated from a segmented receipt point to a segmented delivery point. |
Fourth | All segmented firm transportation service, segmented pursuant to § 28, nominated from an alternate receipt point within a CTP to a segmented delivery point within the CTP. If available capacity at an alternate receipt point is insufficient to accommodate nominations, the available capacity will be awarded pro rata based on each Shipper's nomination up to that shipper's RDC within the CTP. |
Fifth | All non-segmented firm transportation service nominated a. from a primary receipt point to an alternate delivery point inside the CTP. b. from an alternate receipt point inside the CTP to an alternate delivery point inside the CTP. c. from an alternate receipt point outside the CTP to an alternate delivery point within a DPG. d. from a primary receipt point to an alternate delivery point outside the CTP. e. from an alternate receipt point outside the CTP to a primary delivery point. If available capacity from a receipt point to a delivery point is insufficient to accommodate nominations, the available capacity will be awarded pro rata based on each Shipper's nomination up to the Shipper's RDC at the primary receipt or delivery point. |
Sixth | All non-segmented firm transportation service nominated from an alternate receipt point outside the CTP to an alternate delivery point outside the CTP pro rata based on each Shipper’s nomination, up to the Shipper's RDC. |
Seventh | All interruptible transportation service by rate paid from highest to lowest. If two or more Shippers are paying the same rate, available capacity will be awarded pro rata on the basis of each Shipper's daily nomination. |
Eighth | Authorized overrun deliveries under Rate Schedule T-1. |
Ninth | PAL2 service by rate paid, from highest to lowest. Where two or more Shippers are paying the same rate, available capacity will be allocated pro rata to those Shippers up to level requested. This procedure will continue until (1) all requests are filled or (2) all available capacity is utilized. Available capacity will be allocated up to the level requested. |
This is not a legally binding document and is written for Timely Cycle. Information is derived from the Priority, Interruption or Curtailment of Service Gas Quality (Sec. 9.1 / 28) Portion of MWP’s Tariff. For additional information, contact your Scheduling Rep.
